--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im squeezing their testicles
through my fingers, hands
that sculpt with love in another
room, of this paradox that
rings me more and more

i'm all eyes, as they pour thru
the same child that waves
to them on a country road,
and moos to them, laughing,

somewhere in a field of daisies
they run free, my spirit beside
them, if only in intervals between
the drugery consumming me lately,

mother to mother,
i apologize, there but for
the grace of god, go I, go my
own son, l7 ready to traipse
on the world that will awaken
to his brilliance come september
when he abandons me,
his old mama,

this was once another
mother's son,i wear his
shadow now, i am sorry,
my soul sister....
my keeper made me cook
meatballs tonight.
